E.LETTER 4
The TEAM ECOCONSTRUCTION project partners NEOPOLIS/CCI DROME(FR), ENERGIEINSTITUT of VORARLBERG (AT), Cluster Eco-construction (BE), PFE Coria (ES), EAV (LV), Chamber of Commerce of Versailles (FR) and SMALA (CH) have met from the 22nd to the 26th of November 2010 for the 5th transnational meeting in MOUSCRON in BELGIUM.

Meeting place : ELEA – Ecoconstruction Resources Centre in MOUSCRON (Belgium)
Pilot course “Energy Efficient Renovation with Use Of Eco-construction Methods” was held at Ergli Vocational School (Latvia), April 26th to 30th, 2010.
During the course five days training program participants obtained theoretical knowledge about the importance of energy efficiency, low energy buildings, thermal bridges, thermal insulation and eco-building materials, installation of window and quality control on the site.
There was demonstration of blower-door test and straw building practice.
Task of the practical part was renovation of the brick wall fragment with eco construction techniques.

The author of technical drawings is certified passive house designer Ervin Krauklis. The result was a demonstration wall with specially designed window and a 40 cm thick wall insulation, which fill with the various ecological insulation materials.
At the end of course the students were evaluated by a pilot exam. More information : www.ergliarods.lv
